Happy New Year!
This is a little painting I did a couple of years ago. One of my all time favorite movies is "It's a Wonderful Life". Every year we set up the IAWL village with it's little lit up buildings, trees, cars and people. I think we have the whole set and if not it's too bad because they don't make it anymore. Every year we get the dvd out and I "make" everyone who is in the house sit down and watch it. They don't complain anymore as it has become a favorite movie to them as well.
I often don't make New Years resolutions but this year I promise to paint and post more on this drafty old blog. Let me know how I am doing in a couple of months!!

I love this painting! I didn't know they made a IAWL village. I am so envious! Maybe you can post a photo of your village. I'd love to see the whole scene!
